For Norway, Trident Juncture is a full on Military-Civil Defense exercise...

When I first saw these pics I was confused. Who the hell wears all black in a snowy environment? After letting Google Translate do its thing it became clear. Those are Norwegian "Swat" Type Police (don't know if they have a Gendarmine type force there) are part of the exercise.

The Norwegians are taking Trident Juncture as a full on Military-Civil Defense exercise. Caption below.

During the NATO Trident Juncture exercise we will practice one thing: the defense of Norway.

Today, the Army trained with the police, the health service and the fire department.

The overall defense concept is a collaboration between the Armed Forces and civil society throughout the crisis range.
